We invite you to join us throughout December for worship services and activities for all ages in celebration of the coming of Christ!

Sing Hallelujah! 

December 14 at 6pm

Through song, Scripture, and Communion, we will trace the story of redemption—from Creation to the Second Coming—remembering why Christ came once as a baby and looking ahead to His second coming to make all things new. Worship will be led by our 2PC young adults, True North youth, Shine Ministry participants, and Sunday night musicians. Nursery will be available for children ages 5 and under.

Nine Lessons and Carols

December 21 at 8:15 and 11am

Based on the original service held on Christmas Eve in 1918 at King's College in Cambridge, our 8:15 and 11:00am services will tell the story of Christ’s redemption through Scripture reading and responses of carols, hymns, and choral music. Nursery will be available for ages 5 and under at the 8:15am service.

Dedicate Christmas Flowers

This Advent season, deck the halls of our church with flowers in honor or memory of your loved ones. Annually, a substantial part of the Chancel Guild’s budget to decorate the church throughout the year comes from gifts given at Christmas and Easter dedicated to loved ones. To contribute to the fund used to decorate the church, a paper form is available in the bulletin each week, or you may fill it out online below. Please submit your form by December 14. Names will be listed in the December 21 bulletin.
